Your iPhone Is MISSING This Button! Add Restart & Shut Down Now

Summary of the Technological Concept / Tutorial

The video explains that iPhones don’t have a dedicated on-screen button for restart/shut down (without using the side buttons). It then introduces a DIY solution using the iOS Shortcuts app to create a custom home-screen button that can trigger:

• Shut Down, or
• Restart (directly), or
• “Ask Every Time” (recommended) — prompts you each time, allowing one button to handle both actions without creating separate buttons.

Step-by-Step Guide (Key Actions)

1. Open the Shortcuts app.
2. Tap + to create a new shortcut.
3. In the search bar, search for “shut down” and add the Shut Down action.
4. Inside the action, select the behavior:
   • choose Restart, or
   • choose Ask Every Time (recommended).
5. Tap the Share icon.
6. Tap Add to Home Screen.
7. Customize the home-screen button:
   • change icon color
   • select an icon design for quick recognition
8. Tap Add to place it on the iPhone home screen.
9. Test: tapping the new button should bring up a choice to restart or shut down.
